While on a two-day fundraising trip to California, President Barack Obama's motorcade created chaos for Los Angeles motorists and allegedly prevented a pregnant pedestrian from crossing the street to the hospital, according to a local television station.

Robert Kovacik, a reporter for Los Angeles' NBC affiliate, managed to capture cellphone footage of a woman sitting at a bus stop bench and then posted it to his Instagram account accompanied by the caption, "Woman in labor on bench as motorcade passes; not allowed to cross street to get to #CedarsSinai."

Word of the incident spread quickly on social media and many bystanders began posting photos to the hashtag #ObamaBabyWatch, The Los Angeles Times reported.
